Chinese noodle restaurant – Haymarket, Chinatown, Sydney CBD

June 23, 2010

Sadly soggy, oily, yucky. A disturbingly oily pork mince pastry is the last dish to arrive at our table and no one dares to touch it. I brace myself and pick a slice up with my chopsticks, its soggy bottom threatens to split and the filling inside almost become a table wipe. With quick thinking [...]

Listen up Sydney, we need more restaurants that open late for supper please. It seems like a common dilemma for most Sydneysiders who are looking for a meal after 10pm but find themselves with no where to go. Living in Sydney amid the cultural melting pot with an amazing array of restaurants but somehow still [...]

November 9, 2009

I can never get tired looking at a big slab of pork spare rib on my blog. After visiting the Shin Yokohoma Raumen Museum in Japan last year, I was convinced that I will never find another bowl of ramen that is as good as the one I’ve had in the museum. However, looks like [...]

“Honey, I’m home!” Hello everyone, it’s good to be back! Needless to say I had such great time eating my way around Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for four weeks.

Super Bowl Chinese Restaurant – Chinatown Haymarket, Sydney

June 22, 2009

One dish after another, a carnivore’s dream comes true. On another hand, the way how I was brought up, always told by my parents to just have a little of each dish to go with a big mouthful of steamed rice. On this occasion, I have to make exceptions. Whenever I dine with the two [...]

Wagaya – Haymarket, Sydney

March 27, 2009

“I think I know which one is the bomb,” says the hungry digital elf confidently. He picks one of the six salmon sushi off the plate and put in his mouth. No doubt he is safe. One down, five more to go – the sushi roulette continues until one of us put a bullet into [...]

Zilver restaurant, Haymarket

August 20, 2008

Our little FOFO group decided to go and check out the Young Blood Designers Market at Powerhouse Museum. But to tell you the truth, it was all just another excuse to get together for some hot steamy dumplings at Zilver restaurant. Usually yum cha places do not take bookings, always a first come first served [...]
